Next-Generation Speeds
Experience up to AX5400 speeds while 1024-QAM boosts throughput to devices by up to 25% and 160 MHz contiguous channel width gives even more bandwidth. Up to 6 simultaneous streams let you enjoy faster, more enjoyable 4K streaming, online gaming and more, and should you require them - 4 Gigabit LAN ports and 1 Gigabit WAN port give you faster wired connectivity whenever you wish.

Connect More, Congest Less with OFDMA
The DIR-X5460 uses Wi-Fi 6’s cutting-edge Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technology. Small data packets destined for multiple devices are transmitted together and never have to queue up again. Perfect for Smart Homes filled with bandwidth-hungry IoT devices battling for bandwidth.

MU-MIMO
MU-MIMO technology helps distribute the flow of data to multiple devices simultaneously. With Wi-Fi 6 technology the DIR-X5460 leverages OFDMA and MU-MIMO for better efficiency of upstream AND downstream transmissions, unlike previous Wi-Fi 5 technology where MU-MIMO could only operate in downstream transmissions. This combination greatly increases capacity, coverage and performance especially in ultra-high-density environments.

Extended Coverage, Reduced Interference
High-gain antennas, built-in power amplifiers and beamforming technology allow the DIR-X5460 to extend the reach of your Wi-Fi and focus a stronger signal in the direction of your devices to ensure a stronger, faster and more reliable Wi-Fi experience. Meanwhile a long OFDM symbol ensures even greater Wi-Fi range, especially outside the home.

The Future of Wireless Encryption
One of the biggest concerns with Wi-Fi networks and connected devices is privacy. The latest 128-bit encryption is the most advanced standard available and begins a new era of wireless encryption, ensuring greater privacy throughout users’ networks and devices.

The Future of Wireless Encryption

The Future of Wireless Encryption
Latest 128-bit encryption will replace previous industry-standard encryptions on Wi-Fi devices

Stronger Encryption Algorithm
Creates stronger and more unique encryption keys for each device

Enhanced Protection from Brute Force Attacks
Stronger protection for users against password guessing attempts

Individualized Data Encryption
Creates stronger and more unique encryption keys for each device

Forward Secrecy
Cannot use a cracked password to decrypt previously-intercepted traffic

Futureproof and Compatible
D-Link routers will not be the ones holding your network back with previous encryption protocols

Conserve Energy, Save Battery Life
Target Wake Time (TWT) helps reduce battery consumption for connected devices by communicating with them and deciding when and how often the device requires data transfers. TWT increases the device’s sleep time, therefore cleverly extending the battery life of client devices and optimizing spectrum utilization.

Always Up-to-Date
Firmware upgrades can be a pain, but with the DIR-X5460, they are completely automated. Upgrades are so smooth, you won’t even notice them. On top of that, the DIR-X5460’s Dual Image functionality saves a recovery image as a backup before an upgrade. So, in the unlikely event an upgrade fails, the system has your pre-existing configuration to fall back on.

BSS Coloring
Your neighbors’ Wi-Fi could be interfering with your wireless signals and slowing things down. Wi-Fi 6 puts an end to the Wi-Fi strife with BSS Coloring technology. It makes transmissions more unique by ‘coloring’ them with their own unique code.

The result? Devices can decide whether to transmit signals or ignore them, based on their “color”. Get less interference, less Wi-Fi slowdowns and more range.
